One-seventy ?! I hit a hundred-ten one time. That was fast enough ...
Out in the Great Wide Open, it's funny how the locals pronounce barbed wire as "bob wahr" ...

mnaz - sorry mark, meant to address your response - the car was a modified Dodge Challenger. It was not my car & I was not driving. We were headed for the Custer national site in the valley of the Greasy Grass aka Little Bighorn River -

I was driving a stock '89 Mustang 5.0 drop-top.
The pavement was kinda rough, and I wasn't sure about the tires and front suspension, and, well ... it was a drop-top ... I backed off.

the road we were on was two lane blacktop, freshly done - the owner had not only modified the engine but also the suspension & steering - that Challenger was nimble, quick to answer the helm & very firm riding - the road you're describing sounds like you were pushing the envelope in that pony of yours - damn cowboy !
